民生调查局 | 培训机构能操纵考试？调查滑雪教练考证市场

Core Viewpoint - The increasing interest in becoming certified ski instructors in China is leading to a surge in training programs, with some institutions making misleading claims about the ease of obtaining certification [1][10][13]. Group 1: Training and Certification - The "National Ski Level 5" certification refers to the National Occupational Qualification Level 5 for ski instructors, which is an entry-level certification requiring formal training and completion of specified hours [6][10]. - Training institutions are using various marketing strategies to attract students, including claims of guaranteed certification upon payment, which is misleading as certification requires passing both theoretical and practical exams [10][13]. - The training duration for basic classes typically ranges from 3 to 7 days, with daily training sessions lasting 6-7 hours [10][12]. Group 2: Market Demand and Employment - There is a significant demand for ski instructors in China, with projections indicating a shortfall of 10,000 to 20,000 instructors by 2026 [21]. - Most ski instructors in China are entry-level, and income can vary significantly, with experienced instructors earning around 150,000 yuan per season, while new instructors may struggle to find clients [15][21]. - The upcoming revisions to the certification criteria will include a new "basic skiing skills assessment" to ensure safety, reflecting the high-risk nature of the sport [18][21].
